    view from the island

    If you enjoy boating, the ride to and from Cabbage Key is the ticket. Less than an hour each way through beautiful waters, around the Private Useppa Island, and past the state park Caya costa, you arrive to the shelter Harbor of historic cabbage key. The staff is so friendly, the food is good, watch the tortoises play... Enjoy your life... It's a day you'll remember !

    We took the boat tour ro this island and had lunch at this restaurant that gets veeeeeeery busy around lunch time. It's a very tiny island and this is the only restaurant. We had a great time enjoying our meal with live music and a beautiful view on a Saturday afternoon. Food is ok. Like bar food. Not many vegetarian or healthy options but their vegetarian burger was pretty tasty They are dog friendly!

    This restaurant is only accessible by boat and has such a cool history. The place was absolutely packed with folks having food and drinks. Since everything is brought in a boat, it is on the pricer side but it's expected being out in the middle of the ocean! The one dollar bills all over the walls are iconic and their Cabbage Creppers definitely sneak up on you. While we were there they also had live music.

    Love a restaurant that I take a boat as my transportation. The grounds are beautiful and it's lovely to go up the water tower for a beautiful view. Of course the prices are high because of the location. we enjoyed our beach burgers. But they do charge an extra for any additions. That one caught us by surprise.

    History of the restaurant and island

    I stopped in with family while out on a boating trip. You can only get here via boat. I would highly recommend getting here early. The restaurant opens at 11am for lunch service but fills up very fast, so rush up to get your name on the list. We got lucky to get seated in the first wave of seating. The menu is not very extensive but does offer salads, shrimp dishes, fish, and of course burgers. This restaurant is known to be the reference for Cheeseburger in Paradise. While others at the table did order a Cheeseburger, I ordered the Shrimp salad. The shrimp salad was served over a tomato with sides of coleslaw and potato salad. All really fresh and flavorful. I highly recommend this dish for something light at lunch time. The Cheeseburgers I heard were good too. Here you do pay for water since it is served by bottle. We even added a dollar bill to the restaurants decor!

    It is a short boat ride to Cabbage Key. We saw a lot of dolphins jumping right aside of our boat to put us in a good mood. Sandra then took great care of us and we had a fantastic lunch with the Crab Claw appetizer, "cheeseburger in paradise", the best Key Lime pie, and some Cabbage Creepers. The atmosphere was chill and the other patrons were chatty. It is a fun short 1/2 day trip to believe in the Jimmy Buffet myth.

    We saw manatees, tons of birds, a million dolphin, and there are even tortoises that live on the island.
